Draft club history

In anticipation of celebrating the centenary in 2012 ,  the club researched and traced the history of Three Spires as far back as was possible . It soon became clear that there had been several distinctly separate periods in the club’s history spanning its first 100 years and these were identified as follows :-

                   1912 - 1925     -      THE LOST YEARS  

                   1926 - 1927     -      THE REAL BEGINNING  

                   1927 - 1951     -      THE GOLDEN YEARS

                   1952 - 1980     -      THE DECLINING YEARS

                   1981 - 1994     -      THE REVIVAL IN OUR FORTUNES

                   1995 onwards -       THE MILLENIUM & BEYOND

Each of the above periods is summarised in their own web pages which follow this web page.

In addition , we also speculated what the following 100 years might hold .       

This series of web pages  is intended to be merely an overview and summary of what has happened over those years but , for the history buffs amongst you who relish more of the detail , you are recommended to refer to and read the Centenary Booklet – “ Three Spires - The First Hundred Years “ .

In the meanwhile, read on.......
